Congratulations Gary. That sure beats my day at work yesterday. I havent been out yet. Went to Portland Springer fishing on the opener. We only caught one, but it was a beaut. I may be out this weekend.How about you?

I have a Fatboy DP, had an original before that. I havent gotten to use the DP for Layout gunning yet..... But, they both ran well with a paddle or a 3 hp outboard. There are days I leave the bigger boat home, and take just the Fatboy. It is heavier than a Rat. It is also way more stable and...

I have a Grumman wide fisherman.16 feet. Very well built. I have used mine hard for 7-8 years now. I have broken a lot of ice with it. Hit more than a few sand bars. It has been all over Washington chasin birds and fish. It has been on the Columbia, in Puget Sound, and a lot of smaller water. It...

Very cool. I like it a lot. Never got to try those "coot" decoys this year.Got froze out first. Mike

Buy it Steve. I want to shoot it.

Thanks Steve. I will look up the birds.Good to know there are some others with that spoon bill. They were going to town in the mud. Gulls sound exactly like what you described. Redheads...............saw a few today.........but not over the decoys. River froze up while I was on it today. -4...

Steve, I dont know birds well at all. So, I have a question. Are there more of those little shore birds that have a spooney looking bill? We saw about 15 opening day this year.We guessed spoonbill piper, because it was the only picture I could find with a bill like that. I had no idea they...

Why a 20 gauge?And are you against an auto? Dont get me wrong. My first gun, and I still hunt with it occasionally,was an 870LW Wingmaster.And I love that gun. That gun kicks harder than a 12 gauge 1100. Light weight and fixed breech make sure of that. If your finances allow it, I would be...

I had a motor this year that was doing that. Carb was loose and sucking air underneath it. Run 2-3 minutes at idle. Give iut gas, it died. Maybe try looking for loose or broken hoses and fitting. Places it may be allowing air leaks in. I dont know, I am no mechanic.

Very nice Fred.Your kids are spoiled...........nah,Im just jealous. I'll give you a call soon I need a good source for maps.

Derek, Just teasing you a little. Saw your post on your house, and I perfectly understand those projects.Looks like you have been pretty darn busy. This is the first summer in the last 4 that I didnt do a major project on our house. My daughter got married this summer, so all my money has been...

Derek, You have to learn to jump on these things when they are offered.He,He. That boat is almost a carbon copy of my step dads boat I told you about earlier this year. Cut off those pods, and make it a little longer on the stern........ Now he is pretty sure he is keeping it after finding...

Sorry,hadnt been back to check this. I guess I just replace them with aluminum again, judging by the advice here. I cant get to the back side, so that means I cant use solid rivets, right?Never have used solid rivets, so not sure of how they are installed. I cant weld there, it would most...

Gary, I love the pics. Michelle really liked the Grebe(?) mating dance you posted last week. I need to have you come take pics of my hummingbirds so I can tell what species they are. I have had a goldfinch on my feeder this week. And we have pygmy nuthatches in a birdhouse my kids and I...

Aluminum pop rivets. That is what was in there originally. The heads are just shearing off.

Kind of goes with the leaky boat thread. My middle bench seat keeps breaking rivets where it attaches to the hull. I re-riveted last year with aluminum rivets and they have broken again. Is there a better choice for rivets?Stainless maybe?Where do I get them? Limited sources around here. Thanks.

Gary, Those are awesome. Wanted to call you couple weeks ago,lost your number. There was a Northern Loon on Sprague Lake.Yes, I was very close to it, and am sure of what it was. Also, that whole Fishtrap area has birds in it that wont be there by hunting season. Saw colored up Shovelers and...

Cabelas sometimes has some out of production barrells. White Elephant in Spokane does sometimes also.

Thats a neat old boat. Bet you dont want to drill a bunch of extra holes in it. A guy here in Washington posted pictures of a little marsh boat that he just laid anAvery Powerhunter inside the cockpit. Made a good looking blind. I hunt out of a Fatboy, and just lay a sheet of fastgrass across...

Derek, Tried to send you a PM, but for some reason it is not working.If you want to look at his boat, His name is also Dan. 325-0794. Boat looks like a Broadbill.And the price is pretty darn good. Probably about what it would cost to build it. And looking at it, I bet you could use your 6hp and...
